The problem with mining less popular coins, is that they are much more volatile. Many of the profitability websites are used by people like you who are looking for the best hash rate possible. If you follow them long enough, you'll notice that they change somewhat frequently, and that is because people are shifting back and forth between mining these various coins. Additionally, the exchange rates are sometimes volatile, so assuming you'll mine $60 in a day is dangerous because by the end of the day two things will have changed: The price of the coin, and the network hash rate of the coin.
If you are interested in mining lots of different coins, I'd recommend becoming very familiar with the market of each of the coins which you are going to mine. Understand if it's currently high, or low, and be prepared to sit on your coin until you are comfortable with the transfer rate to something else. If you are trying to maximize your profit, you have to be informed, and patient.
